This page covers 15 recalls and 37 owner complaints for the 2023 Ford F-350 Sd.
The 2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty draws complaints spread across a few systems, with electrical issues leading the count. Owners most commonly report problems with the electrical system, including overhead cab clearance lights that allow water intrusion during rain and warning lights, particularly the oil change indicator, that illuminate and stay on even after the relevant service is performed. Forward collision avoidance and adaptive cruise control generate the next-largest cluster of complaints, with owners describing situations where the system failed to respond or behaved erratically, including brake pedal unresponsiveness during abrupt stops ahead. The structural category rounds out the top three, with several owners reporting that front doors open or fail to latch properly while driving, particularly in cold weather.

By System
The 2023 Ford F-350 SD has 15 recalls, the most serious involving a front wheel that can detach from the hub and a steering column that can disconnect, either of which causes sudden loss of control.
On the drivetrain and engine side, the left rear axle shaft on single-rear-wheel models can break and cause loss of drive power or rollaway when parked, and the low-pressure fuel pump can fail and stall the engine while driving. The clock spring weld inside the steering wheel hub can also fail, cutting power to the driver's frontal airbag so it cannot deploy in a crash.
Several recalls cluster around rear visibility: water intrusion can cause the rearview camera to show a blue, black, or intermittent image, a software fault can freeze or blank the feed entirely, and vehicles with Pro Trailer Hitch Assist may not display the default camera view when using that feature. Prior repair attempts for both the camera and the power windows did not fully resolve those issues. The front and rear windows may not reverse when closing on an obstacle. The digital instrument cluster can go dark, hiding the speedometer and warning lights. Windshield wipers can break and stop working, and trailer lighting and brake signals may not function when towing. The owner's manual omits instructions for adjusting certain head restraints.
